Feed Import Taxonomy Terms

Feed Import is a module that allows you to import content into entities from various file types (like XML, HTML, CSV).
In this page we will find how to import taxonomy terms.

Display parent taxonomy term

Whether to assign only the lowest level taxonomy term to a page, or also assign the parent terms so that they display, is a frequent issue. This snippet allows you to display a parent term of a term already assigned to your entity. Note that this is not actually a term reference, so doing this will not allow you to list this page using the taxonomy system.

But if your term reference field is called myterm (field_myterm), you can use this to display a parent term. This assumes that there is just one parent term.

To make content taxonomy term sortable


To make a Content Taxonomy term sortable In a view display


Steps:

  • Add a relationship in View page with group 'Taxonomy: Related terms '.
  • Then select the relationship and give the label and also the taxonomy term that should be sortable.
  • Then create a field by selecting taxonomy:term
  • Select relationship previously created , then give the label and save
  • This will create duplication to avoid this keep distinct field in Basic Settings as 'YES'.

Adding next & previous links for node types within taxonomy terms (e.g. Image Galleries)

A better way to do this using Custom Pagers module is detailed in the Image module documentation: http://drupal.org/node/709462

description

The following adds a custom next_prev function to your theme template.php file that allows you to insert NEXT | PREVIOUS type links in your layout.tpl.php files. Where layout might be node.tpl.php, node-image.tpl.php etc.

In the illustrative example snippet below, a simple NEXT | PREVIOUS link is inserted into a custom node-image.tpl.php file linking to the next and previous image within that gallery (taxonomy term).

step 1 of 2

Add the custom next_prev function to your template.php file.

  1. In a text editor like notepad.exe or equivalent, create/edit a template.php file and paste the following snippet
  2. Save your new/edited template.php file and upload it to your active theme folder

function next_prev($current_nid, $type, $button_type, $label, $class) {
$tid = db_result(db_query(db_rewrite_sql("SELECT tid FROM {term_node} WHERE nid = $current_nid;")));
if (empty($tid)){ //validate that the image 'does' have a tid
return '';
}

switch ($button_type) {
case 'next':
$sort= 'ASC';
$case = '> ';
